his speech a short while ago was very defensive. that's right i think president xi is well aware of this brawling and china sentiment around the world because of the spread of the coronavirus 1000000 you know hundreds of. lots of people have lost their lives and you know there has been millions lost in terms of economic damage worldwide because of this current virus and he's taken a very peaceful stance during his speech he said that china will donate $2000000000.00 to the world health organization to help relieve this response against the pandemic that china will help to develop a vaccine for the global good he also called for other countries to support the world health organization and very interesting lee he actually said that he supports a comprehensive review into the outbreak once this virus is under control as long as it is led by the world health organization now this is something that many

countries around the world have been calling for since since the death toll from the virus has been mounting an independent inquiry and many analysts here have said that that basically would be impossible for chinese leaders to allow a foreign entity or foreign bodies independently allowed into the country to see exactly what has happened china has seen that because of this growing hostility around the world that it really has to it seems change its attitude towards this independent inquiry and answer these calls for it it's been very defensive i think since the beginning of the outbreak there have been lots of valid criticisms against the way that china has handled this outbreak silencing whistleblowers as the end of december last year when this this mystery virus 1st came to light changing the way that it accounts its coronavirus cases adding to skepticism around its own transparency about the severity of the outbreak and also as many countries

have also said trying to cover up the severity of this outbreak and leading it to spread around the world so. it's been under attack specifically from many countries but especially the us and president xi jinping moved in many were any in his way to ass washing of those concerns from from different leaders around the world thank you for that katrina you live forests there in beijing. for taiwan meanwhile has criticized the world health organization for excluding it from its annual assembly foreign minister joseph who accuses w.h.o. of yielding to pressure from the chinese government beijing considers taiwan a breakaway province and as long objected to its participation in international organizations as a sovereign state taiwan has reported just 440 cases of coffee 1000 but says the w.h.o. hasn't provided huge the help it needs. woman the ministry of foreign affairs expresses deep regret that the world health organization secretariat has yielded to pressure from the chinese government and continues to disregard the right to health

for the 23000000 people of taiwan. the people of taiwan are poor the to freeze behavior of the chinese government which claims to care for their health and welfare while actually seeking to deprive them of their rights in health. and other world news libya's internationally recognized government says it has retaken control of the air base the site has been used as warlord honey for half tires headquarters in western libya since 2014 earlier this month forces from tripoli launched an offensive to recapture the base soldiers loyal to have toppled out on monday after suffering major losses during heavy fighting in recent weeks let's bring in our correspondent in tripoli mahmoud abdel wad so mahmoud this latest move how might it change the battlefield in the balance of power. will fully apparently it will change the balance of power as you know that this is

life for us there in tripoli. to israel now and a jewish settler has been found guilty of murder in a high profile arson attack that killed a palestinian toddler and his parents in 2015 the man 5 on the home belonging to the shift family in the village of duma they were sleeping at the time 18 month old died along with his parents his 4 year old brother was severely injured but survived the relatives of the family say they're afraid of retaliation after this issue. this man was convicted but we think with certain to that he's not alone there are others out there who are part of that and they're free in the can still practice to your own people it is possible that we will be subject to the retailer to are you turks. are just there is harry fawcett has been following the story from outside the court in the israeli city of la he says others who are involved in the plan but have so far escaped conviction. remains the highest profile attack by

so-called jewish terror on palestinians although quite importantly in this case the convicted man has not been convicted of being part of a terror group what took place according to this verdict is that on the 30th of july 25th. this man i mean run by leo and a younger a minor had conspired together to carry out some kind of attack on palestinians in response to a drive by shooting of a jewish man the younger of the 2 apparently didn't turn up at the rendezvous and so ben leland self went on to the village of duma in the occupied west bank he graffitied 2 anti palestinian messages there he burned one empty house and then went on to the home of the the wives of family inside that home were her husband saad 18 month old ali all 3 of them were killed in the fire that ensued 4 year old

son ahmed survived and he now lives with his grandparents this was a huge manhunt it became a major political issue for the government of the day and the security services shin bet that once the suspects were arrested they carried out so-called enhanced interrogation sometimes called torture to try to get more information and indeed confession. italy has lifted more of its coronavirus long time restrictions in what the prime minister is calling a calculated risk for the 1st time since march people can go to cafes restaurants and bars more shops are open and so are libraries museums and beauty salons free movement is now allowed within regions and churches can hold mass prime minister said a condom has worn cases will increase but says it's he can't afford to stay locked down until a dance scene is developed said speak to. in rome for us now sima what's

the scene like for us in rome where you are and how do italians feel about being able to go to restaurants and bars again i think here in italy things are slowly aging back to some semblance of normality with all these openings happen people understand that now they can go to the shops they can go to the restaurants but they're not exactly sure how those safety protocols are going to be applied applied and so i think here in rome this still an element of exile to let's not forget the country has suffered tremendously folly i mean more than 31000 people have died with coffee 19 here that's it though the infection rate is now more or less steve all the epidemiological situation is holding and so because of that they're cautiously opening things up but different regions have different rules as to how these safety protocols are going to be applied so i think italians

as a whole are trying to adjust to what will be the new dawn of living with the virus and trying to figure out what they can or cannot do and the churches are also they expecting frowns. well they say that they will allow church services to be held in the churches have been opened you can enter individually but they're now saying massive celebrations can be conducted and so that means people can go in but they are going to be limiting the numbers some of them will be checking for temperatures before they enter they will be required to wear masks and also to practice social distancing inside so that's just one of the measures with regards to places of worship but everybody will be looking at the beaches as well as as we are heading into the summer season of peak tourist season for the country let's not forget that italy's g.d.p. some 13 percent of it is reliant on tourism so that's a sector that they want to tap in and so on the 3rd of june they're going to be

allowing travel between the regions of its elite so hopefully that will encourage domestic tourism as well as travel from other e.u. countries into italy but without that mandatory 2 week quarantine period so hoping to tap in on that tourism sector but of course it still remains to be seen whether people will feel comfortable enough to come and i think that's where the onus is on businesses to ensure people that those safety protocols are in place and that people themselves need to protect a pretty do those social distancing there just to ensure and protect themselves as well thank you for that same i go for a same volume. and still ahead on al-jazeera u.s. automakers send their employees back to work but it's unclear if anyone will start to buy again and it's a big part of tourism in kenya how colona virus is affecting its wildlife recent years.

as plenty of rain throughout much of asia we've got lots of clouds which is bringing the rain with it but some fairly heavy downpours expected across the northern sections of the korean peninsula through tuesday this will work its way across the sea of japan just as another system exits off to the east so are all the day in tokyo just 21 degrees celsius and this front trails right the way down across into taiwan and southern areas of china so as i say staying west for the next couple of days a more rain pushing into northern sections of honshu as we go through wednesday that same system carrying away there from the korean peninsula heavy rain also developing through central areas of china that exists where watching very very closely is this this is a tropical cyclone on poland a huge system and an extremely powerful one this is moving to the north quite steadily but it's going to continue to strengthen by cheez day we're looking at

winds sustained at about 230 kilometers an hour gusting to $280.00 this means obviously a lot of damage from these winds but the rain beginning to really work its way into eastern sections of india down into additional pushing up into west bengal the storm surge will be considerable with the force of those winds along coastal areas it will continue up to the north on wednesday not quite as strong still very significant winds sustained at about 200 kilometers an hour. as we embrace new technologies rarely do we stop to ask what is the price of this progress what happened was people started getting sick but there was a small group of people that began to think that maybe this was related to the chemicals washer and the job and investigation reveals how even the smallest devices have deadly environmental and health costs we think ok we'll send ari waste to china but we have to remember that air pollution travels around the globe deaf i
